career. The plan for now is to UQR, get hired with a regional, bank some 121 time, apply to Australian companies. I understand they do SO positions but no military type RTP like US carriers.

I considered applying for an SO position right off, but I want some 121 time as a fallback.

My question is, will I need to bank 1000 to 1500 hours of time as a captain (PIC) in a regional in the US before I apply or will I be competitive with 1000 to 1500 hours of SIC and 2000 of military rotary?
How do you plan on having the right to work in Australia? Do you have residency or citizenship there yet?

Airline jobs in Australia are far more competitive than the USA.
